Significant reductions in test application times can be achieved through parallelizing core tests; however, simultaneous test of various cores may result in exceeding power thres...

Excessive switching activity during shift cycles in scan-based cores imposes considerable test power challenges. To ensure rapid and reliable test of SOCs, we propose a scan chain...
— This paper proposes a selective pattern-compression scheme to minimize both test power and test data volume during scan-based testing. The proposed scheme will selectively supp...
Parallel test application helps reduce the otherwise considerable test times in SOCs; yet its applicability is limited by average and peak power considerations. The typical test v...

Conversion of the flip-flops of the circuit into scan cells helps ease the test challenge; yet test application time is increased as serial shift operations are employed. Furthe...
